Chapter 14

So c-c'mon, you got it wrong

To prove I'm write I put it in a so-o-ng

I don't know why, you're being shy

And turn away when I look into your ey-y-es.

I sat amongst the audience, blending in with everyone else as I proudly beamed in my seat and watch my boyfriend own the stage with his bandmates during the Olympics closing ceremony. If he was feeling any tinge of nervousness he was clearly good at hiding it, he looked so composed and calm as if performing at the Olympics was any normal thing he did on a daily basis.

Katherine had managed to make it to the Olympics with me, I came along with Zayn and met Katherine and Eleanor in our seats. I quickly typed in a tweet.

@Littlemixoffic: I'm too excited for the Olympics closing ceremony! :) I'm getting loads of butterfly's! Eeeek:) @katheeerine Perrie <3

It was a massive production, there were dancers, a vehicle for their grand entrance, a really enjoyable performance. As One Direction finished their stunning performance of "what makes you beautiful" my mind jogged back to just an hour before the performance.

We were in the car headed out to the venue and Zayn started bouncing in his seat. "I'm feeling slightly nervous." He admitted. "I mean it's huge, it's the London Olympics. Hopefully I won't fall off or anything."

"You'll be fine, don't fret." I tried to ease his mind by offering a comforting hug. It did anything but calm him down. I took off my bowler hat and placed it on Zayn's head. "Here ya go, you can have mi lucky hat that way nothing will go wrong. Nothing ever goes wrong with the lucky hat."

I looked into Zayn's eyes, he looked bemused that I actually had such a belief, but if that's what it took to reassure that he would be perfectly fine, why not?

I felt someone place his hand on my lap, resulting in me jumping a feet in the air and pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned to face Zayn, who was grinning from ear to ear. I grinned back at him, feeling a burst of pride towards him and we divert our attention back to the performances, our hands intertwined with each others'.

"That was really awkward. You should've told me Zayn would be joining you afterwards and you shouldn't have placed me in between you and Zayn and Louis and Eleanor! I was like a lonely duck!" Katherine was giving me a earful in our car ride home, crossing her arms and grumbling.

I shook my head and chuckled at her, punching her arm lightly. She childishly stuck out her tongue at me and stared out of the window. I was headed back home with Katherine while Zayn stayed for the after party. Parties weren't really my thing so I tried to avoid them at all cost. I leaned my head back against the car seat and shut my eyes. I couldn't wait to get home and sleep, I was dead beat.

Just as I was headed towards my bed, a knock on the door interrupted my journey. "Who could it be at this hour?" I wondered yet I didn't want to get my hopes up. I opened the door to reveal Zayn outside, just the person I was hoping for it to be.

"Hey." I greeted, taking notice that he was pretty sober so I guess he didn't have a drink to much.

"Mind if I stay over tonight?" He asked.

I stepped aside and gestured with my hands to welcome him in. He placed my hat on my head as he walked in. "Thanks for this Pez, it really helped with my nerves."

I took off the hat and placed it on the sofa, pushing Zayn into the bedroom. "Get a shower and head to bed, because if you're not exhausted, I am."

I heard Zayn let out a chuckle as he entered the bathroom. I tucked myself under the covers and barely shut my eyes for a few minutes when I heard the bathroom door open. Zayn stood at the door with only his towel and his hair dripping wet. My eyes scanned up and down his toned body and I groaned inwardly, pushing myself out of the bed. I opened my closet and dug out some clothes of Zayn's that he had left while he had slept over. I had a small compartment for his clothings at my house and he had one for me at his.

I threw the clothes in his face and he mumbled a quick thanks and slipped into it. "You know, it would be more convenient if we lived under one roof.." his voice trailed off halfway, because I knew what he was getting at.

"Are you suggesting something?" I decided to feigned ignorance.

"You know where I'm getting at. Actually, I had been looking into a particular house. I've set my eyes on it, it's really nice and big, and I definitely can afford it. The only down side is having such a big house all to myself, so if you're willing.. We could check out the house and maybe buy it if you like it?"

I pondered over this for a moment. Shifting in meant that I would probably be able to spend more time with Zayn, and it would definitely be better for our relationship. Plus this little apartment of mine was getting slightly cramped.

Besides, Jade was hardly home and I think I've heard her discussing with Sam about shifting over to his. "On one condition." I stated.

"Anything."

"I get to decorate the house."

Zayn seemed to consider this for a moment, obviously doubting my decorating skills. "Anything to get you to shift in with me." he concluded. " I just have one request, please don't turn my whole house into a pink castle."

I laughed out loud. "that would be a nightmare, even for myself, I promise it won't be half that bad."

Zayn laughed along, "ok good. Anyways, Lou totally flipped when she saw my blond streak today. I forgotten that before we did anything to our hair we actually had to get it passed first."

My mum had done that streak in Zayn's hair for him. He was down at my house visiting and my mum came over when he suddenly had an inspiration to add a blond streak in his hair. I laughed at how ridiculous it sounded at first but my mum volunteered to help him since she was a part time hairdresser and they got to work in the toilet. Not to mention it was my dye they were using, without permission. It actually turned out looking pretty fine. In fact he was rocking that hairstyle.

"Did Lou make you redye your hair black by tomorrow or something?"

"Nope, she was pretty impressed actually. Said it was a good idea and it looked really good on me. Said she should try that on the other boys too."

"That would be kinda creepy wouldn't it?" I pictured all four boys in One Direction also with the blond streak, except I didn't know how Niall would have one. Maybe he could have a brown streak or something.

"Yeah, I told her to leave the boys' hair as it was and be original. I doubt they would rock this hairstyle as much as I do." Zayn joked.

"Your ego is huge." I commented.

"What can I say, it's the truth. Also your bowler hat really brought out the blond streak nicely. I'm going to start keeping a collection of it."

"Says the person who told Lou to have some originality. Now go to sleep because it's been a long day, goodnight, love you."

"Love you too Pez." Zayn lightly pecked my cheeks before we shifted ourselves comfortable in the bed and allowed sleep to wash over our bodies.

@zaynmalik: Little mix were sick on Red and Black tonight! The single's wicked man (not that I'm biased at all! Aha!:)

I spotted Little Mix's twitter account constantly getting tagged in a tweet and noticed that it was one from Zayn, he must have watched our performance which went live. Recently Zayn had deleted his twitter due to the amount of hate he had gotten. It upsetted him slightly, but it was more of anger he felt that resulted in him shutting off his twitter.

@zaynmalik: The reason I don't tweet as much as I use to, is because I'm sick of all the useless opinions and hate that I get daily goodbye twitter.



@zaynmalik: My fans that have something nice to say can tweet me on the one direction account.

I remember reading those tweets just three days ago and then realizing that he had really shut down his twitter. But he had reactivated it yesterday due to pressure from Management. Management had lectured him for being so rash and shutting it off and demanded that he reactivated it with immediate effect, saying how by deactivating it could actually cause the band to lose some fame.

Thankfully they weren't too heartless. They told Zayn that he just had to reactivate but as long as his account was there it would be fine he didn't have to tweet as often as he did or logged in often. They suggested that they hire a team to manage his account for him too which Zayn turned down. So now Zayn's reactivated but he decided to only log in once in awhile.

My heart really went out to him though, I've read some of those hate tweets and experienced some myself but they were nowhere bad compared to what Zayn had to go through. A angry vibration in my hand caused me to break my thoughts. I looked down to my phone and a smile crept onto my face when I saw who it was from.

Great performance, so proud. love you babe, see you when you're home (it's my house tonight btw) and we're going to view the house next week;)



I grinned at my phone, recalling the day I had to tell Jade that I would probably be shifting out of the house in three months time..

We were seated on the couch, watching the television programme which I was hardly paying any attention to, trying to come up with a way to tell Jade she may have to live alone in our flat and the sound of her crunching mercilessly on her chips filled the entire living room.

I broke the silence and cleared my throat. "Erm Jade?"

She diverted her attention to me. "Hmm?"

"Ya know, Zayn was thinking of buying a new house.." I didn't continue, hoping that Jade would solve the puzzle pieces herself. She nodded her head, encouraging me to go on.

I sighed. "He was thinking, maybe I could shift in with him?"

I waited for what felt like hours for Jade's reply. I had not a single clue as to how she would have reacted. I prepared myself for screaming and tears saying how we agreed to live together for at least a year like Jesy and Leigh-Ann and how we had only lived together for a few months and now I was abandoning her to live with my boyfriend.

I was silently hoping she would give me her understanding though, Zayn and I hardly got to see each other and maybe it would bring about much more convenience if we lived under the same roof all together.

I broke out of my thoughts and stared at Jade who still have not uttered a single word. "Jade?"

She blinked twice and broke out of her trance, her lips slowly formed into a grin, then a smile and a really huge smile. She jumped out of the sofa and squealed loudly, clapping her hands as if I just told her a good news.

My eyes widened and I raised my eyebrows as I waited for her to explain herself. "That's great!" she cried. "Not that I was getting tired of you or anything but now I can go live with Sam! I better call him and shift over asap!"

My jaw dropped. "What?"

She paused in her tracks and turned her heels. "Oh." she said sheepishly. "I've debated a while now about shifting over to Sam's. But now you're moving over to Zayn's, I've got nothing to worry!"

To think that I actually got worried for nothing, she wanted to shift out too. "Wait.. But you're moving asap, Zayn and I have yet to even buy the house!"

"Stay with Zayn in his current house while you go house-hunting, I've waited so long for this! I'm going to text Sam now!" She squealed again as she ran up the stairs to her room . Well, I guess that had gone well.

I took out my phone as well and texted Zayn.

Told Jade.

Really? How did it go?

No hissy fit, nothing. She was happy.

HAHA looks like someone's happy to get away from you. 

HA. HA. really funny.

C'mon look on the brighter side, she ain't mad and you'll be shifting in with me in our house soon. 

hmm mm. when are we viewing the house?

As soon as our schedules allow us, gotta go now babe, love you.



Next month Zayn had a trip to Germany for some promotional events, interviews and small gigs. To think that he would be jetting off so soon again.

I've checked my schedule, I had a couple of days off while Zayn would be in Germany.

Maybe this time it would be me doing the surprising.
